I've been making these quilt kits out of vintage calico fabrics from the 1980s and '90s since early this spring and they make me very happy. If you haven't read what I've written about them before, you might check out this post from the first time I sold them, because it has some information about how I came to design and make them. I've recently had the opportunity to buy many yards of new-old stock fabric from a quilt store that closed in the '90s back east, and the fabrics in the kits below are almost entirely from that collection. It's really extraordinary fabric, and there is only so much of it left in the world. Once each of these kits is gone, it's gone. I've been making more, but no two colorways are alike. I've had enough fabric this time to do three or four kits in each size in each colorway, so I truly hope that everyone who wants or has wanted one of these is getting that chance. I will have more later in the fall, but probably not until November.

Don't forget: To make the Calicozy ComfyQuilt, you will need to purchase the Calicozy ComfyQuilt PDF pattern, available only as a digital download, HERE.

And then if you are interested, you can purchase a quilt-top kit (please note that the kits are for the TOP ONLY) in one of several colorways, shown below. Click on each image to be taken to my web shop where you may purchase a kit for one of five sizes. Approximate finished sizes are: Toddler 42" x 58" (107cm x 147cm); Throw 58" x 58" (147cm x 147cm); Twin 58" x 80" (147cm x 203cm); Full/Queen 80" x 80" (203cm x 203cm); King 101" x 80" (257cm x 203cm).

YORKSHIRE

ELEANOR

ORCHARD HOUSE

PLUM TREE

NANCHERROW

PORTHKERRIS

And there is one more WILD LILAC in size KING only.

Please note that the virtual tops shown here are an approximation of the prints and solids you will receive with this quilt-top kit. The kit you receive will include vintage cotton calicos and non-vintage cotton solid fabrics already cut for you into 4.25" (11cm) strips. Because these print fabrics are vintage and available in limited supply, you may not receive every fabric pictured, but you will receive 15 unique fabrics that are consistent with the overall colorway presented. Each kit includes enough fabric to make the top for each quilt size as described. I believe that all of the print fabrics are vintage, and 100% cotton, but I can't absolutely guarantee it.

Hi Alicia, I'm not sure why you popped into my head today but you did. So, I popped over here to see what you've been up to. What a beautiful, puffy quilt. Comfy and fun.

I have to say, I can't believe how your little girl has grown up. I think the last time I was here, she was just crawling around the house with little tufts of hair and an occasional ribbon. She's adorable as ever.

I see your Coming Home references! Did you finish it yet?
Good luck with all your endeavours. I think Plum Tree is my favourite. My aunt had a thatched cottage called Plum Tree Cottage. I loved to visit her in the country. I was a bit scared of her Siamese cats though!

Hello! I love these, and was finally able to order one in the Eleanor colorway. :) I just re-read your post, however, and noticed your link to the pattern PDF. Do I need to purchase this in addition to the quilt top? Many thanks for all you do and share. Looking forward to making this sweet quilt for my sweet girl.

Hi Alicia -
I've read and followed you for some time. I was thrilled, today, to see more than one post for me to "catch up" with! Just love your blog: your lovely images, stories about your daughter and your work. Simple, comforting pleasures.
Felt like the right time to come out of shadows and thank you.
All the best to you.

I have been down with flu all week, and I have spent so much time just browsing your posts becuase the beauty you create just makes me feel better. What loveliness you bring to the world with your beautiful family and work. Thanks for making my days better!

Hi Alicia -
I was SO excited to see these new kits today. I've been on vacation and only now am catching up with my favorite blogs. I ordered a kit when you last sold them with no special plan in mind. I just liked it and tucked it away. A friend of mine was recently diagnosed with cancer and is going through some chemo and I thought it would be the perfect thing for her. So while it was in the 90's here in Seattle a few weeks back, I was slaving away at the sewing machine, then spending hours tying it once I had it together. Oh, and making a trip to the dreaded IKEA. I gave it to her on a 90 degree day as well. She has bundled up under it many times since and just adores it. Thank you so much for putting these kits together and I'm excited to order another and maybe make it for myself. Who knows?

Thanks for the smile I got from seeing that you named two of your quilt top colourways Nancherrow and Porthkerris. I'm happy for you that you still have Winter Solstice, September, and The Shell Seekers in store, should you wish for more Rosamunde Pilcher.

Well, I can't believe I was able to purchase your quilt kit - yay! I've tried before and they were always sold out so I'm happy it worked out! It must be meant to be. Thanks so much. I'm looking forward to the cooler weather! As always, enjoy your pics/posts!

I love the quilts!! They are amazing! I have not made my first one yet. Hope life will give me a chance to make it soon. I pray you will continue to offer them! Your little girl is adorable!! I love to see your photos it gives me serenity and contentment! Sending you hugs and wishes for peaceful and lovely days! Hugs!

The quilts make me smile. Somewhere I have a trip around the world quilt made with some of these same exact prints.minthink I also have scraps in a Rubbermaid tote in a closet because I rarely throw things away that could be used or were for a specific project that was never completed, but will one day perhaps. Wink. I was popping over to look up your cloud icing recipe and had to read what you've been up to lately. There's no way little one can be five already is there?! I'm inspired as our daughters 12th BD is the 24th and I know she would love the crown and cake topper. (She has Down syndrome so yes she still loves little girly things at twelve. )
